The Sandy Hook Tragedy – Our Lives

Dear Sandy Hook students,

Hello sweethearts! I’m Shielly, a student at Westland Hialeah Senior High, near Miami, Florida. I know about the recent tragedy that occurred at your school and express my deepest condolences, but I don’t want to focus on the negative today. I want to let you know that one person does not define everyone else or the world.

Many of you may have been confused as to why this happened and have changed your views on life. But I don’t want you to think life or the world is bad place because life is beautiful and there are kind and sweet people in this world. For example, the teachers who put their lives first to save you are true heroes and prove that there are good people with big hearts and courage out there.

Don’t look at this as a frightening experience but as an opportunity to appreciate every little thing; when you hug your family and friends, when your favorite show is on, or when you smile as bright as the sun when you get a toy or game you wanted. These little things are what make your life wonderful. So please don’t think of the world a bad place because things may happen, but it makes you live life to the fullest. I really do hope I helped in any way possible and helped you feel some positivity. Remember that we’re all here for you all and doing everything possible to make sure this never happens again. So please enjoy your life and keep in mind you have so much ahead of you and have angels watching over you. So smile because you definitely deserve to.

Dear Families of the Sandy Hook victims,

My heart aches for the fallen staff members and innocent children that passed away in this horrifying tragedy. Having to cope with the after math is unbearable. One thing this event has helped me realize in my life is to never take life for granted. To appreciate and cherish all the moments I spend with my family and loved ones.

I’m a sophomore student and every morning when I wake up I tell my family I love them. The reason being is because I never know when it will be my last day. As a student, worrying about my school’s safety should be the last of my worries. This deadly rampage has me questioning my safety at school and whether or not my life’s at risk.

This memorable event has caused awareness Nationwide about school’s safety and gun control. Now President Obama has targeted new gun control laws. Focusing on stricter gun laws is a good start in change that has been brought to the President. I’ve lost a good and loving friend of mine to gun violence. So this idea makes me feel some sort of relief.

As to the teachers that have passed away, they are truly soldiers. Risking their lives to protect their students is an amazing Act of Valor, I hope it never becomes an after-thought. I now appreciate and respect teachers and staff so much more. Once again, I am sorry for your loss. Keep your heads up. As I like to say, through every dark night there’s a brighter day.

Sincerely , Antonela Sequeira
